Hob guidelines
o The f
irst few times the hob top is used, it may give off an acrid,
burning smell. This smell will disappear completely with repeated
use.
The hob surface is fitted with cooking areas of different diametre
o
and power.
o The positions where the heat will radiate from are clearly marked
on the hob top. The saucepans must be positioned exactly
on these
zones for efficient heating to occur. Pans should have the same
diametre as the cooking zone that they are being used on.
You should not use saucepans with rough bottoms, as this can
o
scratch the solid plates.
Before use, make sure that the bottoms of the saucepans are clean
o
and dry.
o When cold, the bottom of the pans should
be slightly concave, as
they expand when hot and lie flat on the surface of the hob. This
will allow the heat to transfer more easily.
o The best
thickness for the bottom of the pans is 2 – 3 mm of
enamelled steel and 4 – 6 mm for stainless steel with sandwich type
bottoms.
o If these rules are not followed, then ther
e will be a great loss of
heat and energy. Heat not absorbed by the saucepan, will spread to
the hob, frame and surrounding cabinets.
oPreferably cover pans with a lid to permit cooking at a lower heat.
Always cook vegetables and potatoes, etc. in as little water to
o
reduce cooking times.
o Food or liquid that has high sugar content may damage the hob top
if it comes into contact with the h
ob surface. Any spillages should
be wiped up immediately, however this may not prevent the hob
surface from becoming damaged.
oIMPORTANT: The hob surface is tough; h
owever it is not
unbreakable and can be damaged. Especially if pointed or hard
objects are allowed to fall on it with some force.
o DO NOT USE THE HOB IF THE SURFACE BECO
MES BROKEN
OR CRACKED. YOU SHOULD CONTACT THE BAUMATIC
CUSTOMER CARE DEPARTMENT IMMEDIATELY.

Maintaining the solid plates
o If something is spilt onto the plate itself, then it can be removed
using a soft brush, plastic or nylon scourer and warm water.
o To keep the solid plates in good condition, you should put a little
olive oil
onto a kitchen towel and rub it onto the surface of the
plate. The next time the plate is used, it may produce a little
smoke.
o Alternatively you can use a hotplate conditioner; these products
can normally be foun
d at larger supermarkets and hardware
stores. The manufacturer’s instructions should be followed when
using these products.
o IMPORTAN
T: If the solid plates are not maintained
regularly with olive oil or a hotplate conditioner, then they
may rust.
